Morning, So, this could be the finished Little Owl. As ever, I’m not 100% certain yet. Putting the white on, in the way I have, has created a surprisingly cold light, but I think I
Morning, A quick update this morning. There’s a big jump in progress with the little owl as I’ve been working away at Hampshire Open Studios (as you know) and now that I’m back in the
Morning, A couple of updates for you this morning. Firstly, and somewhat unbelievably, another exhibition has decided to give me an award. I can’t quite believe it, but the Society of Graphic Fine Art (an
The question is, can you spot the bird that got me so excited on a walk the other day? As a bit of a clue, it’s slightly bigger than the song thrush. I have to
There are a couple of things to update you on today. Firstly; there is a new piece of work to share. Unusually, this isn’t the first showing for this piece, as I did show it
Morning, Hopefully you got the chance to watch the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year awards on Tuesday evening. If you didn’t I can put your mind at rest, I didn’t win. However, I
Trees seem to be becoming more and more of an inspiration to me and here are 2 pieces inspired by an oak from the New Forest and a Scots Pine from a local war cemetery.
Morning! There are 2 events to tell you about this morning. One is an award ceremony and the other is my first show in 18 months. It seems odd to be talking about things like
Over 120 hours work, 15 square foot of canvas and 6 beautiful deer from the New Forest. That’s what has gone into this piece of work, and I think it might just be my best
Getting things done can seem to take such a long time. I can’t even remember how long ago I first thought of doing videos for each piece of art, chatting (very briefly) about why and
I couldn’t quite believe my eyes, right there, feet from our back bedroom window, was a Heron. I’d been looking out of the window for a while, completely unaware of the wildlife encounter waiting for
Morning! Another one of those times has come along again. If you’ve known me for a while, you’ll know that every now and then I try to get myself creating art outdoors, I’ve had many
A sneak peek (before anyone else) into my latest work, or at least a small part of it. It’s not finished yet, but I’m almost there, and once I’ve framed it, I’ll be able to
Working on all this new art is an absolute joy! It’s been such a long time since I’ve been able to focus so much. There’s going to be a new video coming out, showing my
In between work and the occasional art paintings, I’ve been thinking about the last year. It’s very difficult to know what to say. I mean, it’s really been a humdinger. Although, I’m not sure I
This is the first email I’ve sent for what feels like about a year, but is, in fact, only 3 months. It comes as a result of one of my pieces getting into the Royal
A very quick update this morning, nothing other than a quick update on progress with my latest work, a landscape of the north Cornish coast. I’m enjoying working on it, probably a bit too much,
Some new work in progress to show you this morning, but before I do, please forgive a small amount of narcissism, although I promise not to gaze too long at my own reflection. As you
Starting is often the hardest thing to do with these emails, but this time, that’s more true than ever. It’s incredible how much time we all spend talking about Covid-19; the extraordinary times we’re currently
